Abstract
The 5 DOF coordinate measuring arm is an equipment used to determine the coordinate of points in 3D space at the tangent point of the probe and object. The calculating of the coordinate at the tip of the probe is based on forward kinematic equation of a 5 DOF robot arm, by defining the transpose of the 5 knuckles. Accordingly, we can calculate and measure some geometric elements, such as distance, angle...rebuild surface of object and store data in files. So that, the equipment can be applied in many fieldS: measuring, examining, molding, reverse engineering…
